I like the name of your business.

It's difficult to read the marketing, desktop and internet services because of the background.

A personal touch in my opinion is missing.

Who are you? What's your history? Why should I use your service compared to others? What can you do for me?

Good job. Here's what I'd add and edit:

1. About page - people want to know who they're working with
2. Home page - add some text before jumping into the services you offer - not everyone is going to know exactly how you can help. The text is very difficult to read with the background that you've chosen.
3. The phone numbers are listed as xxx-xxxx
4. You own your domain, you should have your email that uses your domain name and not gmail.com

I too found it hard to read as the background overpowers the text.

Home page: What is your USP or why should people choose you? At first glance I am thinking this is part of an advertisement. Not linking the blue/purple button with Business Based Solutions, it look out of place. Agree with Monday on the email and phone number being xxx-xxxx.

Why choose a VA: could you make this a Why Choose Consider It Done and add your bio, information on your background, working with you etc. The information that you have has been recycled so many times that I am not even sure people pay attention to it anymore.

Look at your site from a potential client instead of a business owner to see what you can use to draw them in.

Congratulations on launching your website! That's a big accomplishment.

You've gotten lots of good advice here already. It can be difficult to think about your business from the perspective of your client, but I think if you take the time to do it, you'll end up with a website that will be much more effective for you.

How will their lives be better for hiring you? Why should they choose you instead of another VA?

I sometimes have a hard time with this exercise, because I'm not a salesperson by nature, so what I do is I think of some products or services or websites that have convinced me to become a client. Then I go look at what they do and try to understand it, because obviously they were successful! I've learned a lot that way.

Good luck!

Is Premiere misspelled? I agree with the background making it a little difficult to read.
